Adventurer Appreciation Campaign

Master, Master!
The Adventurer Appreciation Campaign is here again, kupo!
Woohoo! Yay! We love you!
Phew, I need to get more exercise, kupo!

Anyway, let's review the history, kupo.
It's thanks to adventurers like you that the people of Vana'diel have been able to live and prosper in peace. The Adventurer Appreciation Campaign was begun by a certain personage to show our gratitude for this valuable contribution to society.
Are you with me so far, kupo?

Now we come to the fun part.
In addition to seeing a record of your adventures put together by the all-seeing moogles, you will receive a special present, kupo.
Can't wait to see your data, kupo? Not so fast!
First you have to survive the Trial of the Dragon Moogle, kupo!

Well, maybe I'm exaggerating a little.
Our campaign benefactor does, however, prefer to reward those adventurers who have shown themselves to be trusted, selfless heroes, kupo.

Even veteran adventurers may squirm at the opponents they must face to complete this trial. The Far Eastern martial goddess. The uncompromising knight of the Lion Kingdom. And last and most terrifying: the heartless Witch of Abyssal Curses.
What? You think I'm exaggerating again, kupo?

..Anyway, you can find out more by speaking to the moogles around town.
Your trial will take you around the world, so be prepared to take in all that appreciation, kupo!

Thank you for your efforts, master!
And thank you to all adventurers, kupo!

Event Participation

This event takes place in the nations of San d'Oria, Bastok, and Windurst. Listen carefully to the moogles' instructions, then join forces with other adventurers before setting out on your "trial."
